Bass & Associates 866-900-7694 Bank Fraud

Everyone please don't allow Bass and Associates to worry you. They are harmless, unless you pay them out of being uninformed. Spread the word about these crooks to everyone that you encounter, even strangers. Complain to every organization in existance.

Anthony,please view my post in collection agency board concerning these hoods.

Bass and Associates utilize illegal collection tactics. If they call and threaten you with arrest, or accuse you of fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, crossing state lines fraud...etc, they are violating the laws. Do not fear them, that is what they are hoping for. Do not send them a dime. Tell them that you know that they are under investigation by the Attorney Generals Office of Florida, in which they base their business. Tell them that they will be reported immediately. They practice very hard to scare consumers, so it may sound convincing, but it is all illegal. You are in the power, not them.

they are calling me with the same threads accusation of bank violation n fraud i was just about to give them my credit card n then i saw this site, can anyone advise me of what to do i mean i know i owe the money althought they got alot already from my bank she TRACY ALEXANDER DIVISION 431 said that if i don't pay by tomorrow 1100 am est i will arrested or will send in order to state whatever this mean. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHO I SHOULD CALL i also called aroowhead investment and all i get is a machine

I was contacted by Tracy Alexander at Division 431 today also and told the same crap. And I too was scared at first. I was ready to make a payment since I know I owe them about $300, but when she came back stating that I owed them $772 she told me to call her tomorrow before noon to let her know if I was able to "borrow" the money from someone. DUH got it from you ****. I want to pay my debt so I tried to call another department to find out how to make payment arrangement, I asked for an address and told them that I didn't have a credit card and money gram cost too much because it took all I had to come up with the money. They would not give me an address to mail the payment in. So I told them i would have to send them less to account for the money gram charge. I know that they have to also notify you in writing also but they claim they don't because of the contract I signed to get the loan. Does anyone still have their contract. Please tell me there is no "you will be arrested on site" clause for failure to pay.

You will not be arrested! that is a scare tactic to get you to pay them money! If you have already paid what you legall owe on this by your state laws then do not send them any more money. You need to file a complaint with your AG as well as the FL Ag. I promise you are not going to jail. They have threatened me with it several times and no one has come to arrest me.

believe me i too was very scared and still am i donot know if they can actually arrest you on site i tried calling AG but it was closed for the day i told this TRACY ALEXANDER that i did have a money gram office near by where i live and sd then you have to use a credit card i told her about not comfortable giving my info over the phone then she fax a sheet bass prelitigation services and they even wam the cvv code in the credit card and that it will be charged 499.80 even after they already got 300 from my bank and also sd that moneygram code5119 bass jax and not to use jacksonville because it would not fit in the box and that i better do one or the other before 11:00 EST tomorrow or else

UNSURE- I promise you that you cannot be arrested and they should not be threatening you with this...they are the ones that are doing things illegally. I would not give them any personal information as they will continue to extort you...Tell them to validate the debt or get lost. They have threatened me with arrest several times and yet here I am....YOu need to go ahead and file a complaing with your AG as well as FL

how long have they been threatening you. like has it been a few days, weeks, months, years, what???

I have had my go-rounds with Aspire and / In-charge debt solutions. what is a SAG office?

State Attorney Generals Office.

If any collection company is threatening calling the state attorney generals office about you, they are crazy. The Attorney generals are in it for protecting the consumer...you and I. They hate collectors and do what they can to bring them up on charges when they violate the law.

they started calling my job on monday leaving very URGENT messages and that i should attend to this matter instantly or they have report me as internet banking fraud. I this point i am soooo drained just thinking of what to do and hoping that they don't call my work tomorrow since i did not fax back my credit card infop

Is anyone here actually allowing themselves to be frightened by illegal collectors. Come on people, get informed already. Threats of arrest, accusations of white collar crimes are illegal. Most collection agencies, especially Bass and Associates are not even licensed to collect in most states. Don't be the victim; stand up and tell these a$$holes to f#uck off, and that you understand the laws in which protect the consumer. Do not send them a dime, and please file a complaint with the Florida Attorney Generals Office as well as your states AG. Now get out there and spread the word about these Floridian criminals. Bass and Associates, which I have stated numerous times, are criminals, using a UPS store as their "suite" address. They do not apply any money that you send to a debt. They want an amount not legal per laws of each state. They may sound convincing when they tell you that you are being "downloaded" or someone will be picking you up in your workplace, but this is an illegal tactic, and they just hope that you are uninformed and scared enough to wire them money. They are currently under investigation, and with good reason. I may sound as if I am pissed off, and it may be that I am, because I get fired up when I witness my fellow human beings dealing with fear, threats and extortion. I get sort of emotional over this stuff. I wish that I could go to Jacksonville and confront these donkey holes myself. Perhaps next time I will tell you all how I really feel.

some one called me from bass & associates also, they stated that they were representing a pdl by the name of Ashland Funding, Paragon, Premier Loans and M1Y Direct oh and Midland Marketing[/b]

these people are realy a big rip-off so, yesterday this woman called and sd that her name is TRACY ALEXANDER FOR BASS AND ASSOC and the I have committed serious fraud and that if did not 499.80 by eleven am est. They were going to file charges against me and my husband for banking violation anyways i told you guys that i was so scared that agreed to pay with my credit card ans while i was waiting for her to fax the sheet for paymnt i went to this site OH MY GOD!!!
